About Bob's Red Mill Organic Farro
It originated in the Fertile Crescent, and some say farro is the original ancestor of all other wheat species—“the mother of all wheat.” Today this ancient Old World grain is still highly regarded in Italy, where it has been grown for generations by Tuscan farmers and is featured in many traditional dishes. Although not gluten-free, organic farro grains are a good source of iron and plant-based protein. It’s also easy to digest, allowing your body to readily absorb the nutrients. Our organic farro grains are very lightly scratched, as is traditional, to allow for a faster cooking time and to encourage the release of their starches during cooking.
